Chapter 591 - 589: Landing on the Island
After getting back the phones that belonged to their relatives or friends, some people have already started trying to unlock them.
"Something happened to them!"
Soon, someone let out an exclamation.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to this person.
"What’s going on?"
"What happened?"
Upon hearing this exclamation, everyone gathered around.
"Look at this, it’s a video my brother recorded..."
The person played a video for everyone to see.
The phone’s owner was filming a short video when a crew member called him into the fishing boat’s cabin.
Then, a round-faced, bearded man, Ramon, appeared with a gun, demanding everyone hand over their phones.
Next, a long-faced, scarred man led the armed crew on board, kidnapping everyone on the boat.
Although some parts weren’t recorded, from the audio, even a fool could understand what was happening.
"Oh my God, my sister has been kidnapped!"
"Those guys on the fishing boat must be repeat offenders!"
"Yes, yes, if they weren’t, how could they be so skilled?"
"I knew their sudden disappearance was because of criminals!"
"What do we do now?"
"Hurry and call the police, let them handle this kidnapping case!"
"How could they dare to kidnap so many people at once?"
"By the way, did you get a call from the kidnappers?"
"No, there hasn’t been any call."
"Really? Ever since my brother disappeared, there hasn’t been any ransom call."
"That’s very strange! The kidnappers took people, but why not call and demand ransom?"
"It’s been so long; they should have called by now!"
"Unless their kidnapping was not for money..."
The more they thought about it, the more bewildered they became. Why didn’t the kidnappers call for ransom?
Could the kidnappers truly not be after money?
If not for money, why kidnap so many people?
Are they just bored or something?
The crowd discussed endlessly but couldn’t reach a conclusion.
Meanwhile, Yan Jun remained silent amidst the crowd.
Others might be clueless, but how could he not know?
The kidnappers, led by Lars, were indeed not after money; they were after access to the Blood-colored Divine Temple!
As for those who were kidnapped, they were all test subjects in the process of entering the temple!
"Fuck! How can Lars be so stupid?"
"Such a simple and obvious trap, and he couldn’t see through it?"
Next to him, Captain Paul cursed grumpily, obviously displeased with his nephew’s kidnapping.
Yan Jun couldn’t help but pout at these words.
He thought to himself, "Your nephew isn’t stupid!"
"He’s actually extremely clever!"
"He orchestrated this entire kidnapping plan and even killed the fishing boat’s captain, who was the kidnappers’ former accomplice."
"Even scarier, he used those people to pave the way for him!"
"Who knows how many will survive in the end..."
As Yan Jun vented internally, the discussion among the others came to a resolution.
Although they didn’t know the kidnappers’ intentions, they decided it was best to report to the police as a precaution.
Everyone was advised not to act rashly.
After all, the kidnappers were armed.
If they encountered the island’s kidnappers or got into any conflict, they would be in trouble!
Reaching a preliminary consensus, everyone stood on the boat, patiently waiting for the police to arrive.
Fortunately, these people had significant family backgrounds and some influence in Southeast Asia.
So, after they reported, the local coast guard arrived promptly at the scene.
The crowd, talking over each other, explained the kidnapping of their family or friends in detail.
After hearing their stories, the coast guard was dumbfounded.
Why did the kidnappers take more than ten people at once?
More importantly, these victims were either rich or noble.
They were either the descendants of Southeast Asian tycoons or from the upper echelons of powerful Western countries like the Eagle Country, Ox Country, and others.
However, the most puzzling thing was that after successfully kidnapping people, the kidnappers didn’t contact the families for ransom.
Kidnapping so many people without a ransom call, what was their motive?
After calming the crowd, the coast guard quickly devised a plan.
On one hand, they called for more support to surround the entire island, ensuring the kidnappers couldn’t escape.
On the other hand, they planned to immediately go on the island to track the kidnappers.
This plan received everyone’s praise.
Some courageous individuals even volunteered to accompany the coast guard and search the island.
Naturally, Yan Jun wasn’t keen on going.
But on second thought, he needed to play his part convincingly!
If he didn’t go, how could he show his urgency to find the missing?
Moreover, with Lars and others in the Blood-colored Divine Temple, there shouldn’t be significant danger on the island.
Considering these factors, he ultimately decided to join Captain Paul and others in landing on the island with the coast guard.
Once they successfully landed, everyone cautiously began to explore.
"There’s blood here!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Hearing this, everyone hurried over.
They saw several pools of blood on the ground, their color darkened over time.
"There’s more here..."
Following the blood trail, they looked northwest and saw patches of dark red blood scattered all over the grass.
"Did the kidnappers kill the hostages?"
The sight of so much blood gave everyone a bad feeling.
The kidnappers hadn’t made a ransom call after successfully abducting people...
Could they have killed all the captives?
"Let’s follow the blood trail and see what’s going on!"
The coast guard, lacking any sentimentality, quickly took action, following the blood trail.
The others, also setting aside their grief, followed them.
When they reached the end of the blood trail, they frowned deeply, faces filled with confusion.
Before them lay more than ten shriveled corpses.
The clothes on these bodies were still new, indicating they hadn’t been dead for long.
But they all looked the same, shriveled like mummies.
Yan Jun looked at these bodies, scratching his head.
He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was missing...
"He... he’s Buka! That’s Buka’s body!"
"I... I recognize his clothes!"
"That’s Buka... It’s Buka!"
Meanwhile, one of the people who went with the coast guard pointed at one of the bodies on the ground, exclaiming in shock.
